Where's Angus when you need him?)
Ich bin hier, mein freund, aber ich auch sehr beschäftigt bin. Sie
schreiben soviel, es sind schwierig zu folgen.
Anyway, attached is a slightly re-worked version of status.15x.
Apologies for the bad German; next time I'll try and mangle Italian ;-)
Note that I didn't actually know what the two statements below
actually meant. That makes it difficult to make the meaning clear ;-)
- On all supported platforms, allow Qt 4.2 or higher to use the math
fonts in /fonts without the need to install them. (Install
in the TeX tree?)
- Clarify an error message for --without-included-boost. (When would
this error message appear; I thought I saw that José was at least
trying to compile using an external boost?)

This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX 1.5.2
All comments are welcome.
I'd be glad if some of you could take the time to check it out (or fix
a bug or two if you are feeling adventurous). Let me recall that all
these fixes have been checked into the BRANCH_1_5_X branch, which you
can get with the command
svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_1_5_X lyx-1.5.x

What's new
==
** Updates:
***
* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
- The LyX User Guide has been revised completely.
It is now up to date and describes all of LyX 1.5's main features
For a detailed changelog, see
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/DocumentationDevelopment#Status
- The LyX User Guide has been translated into Spanish.
- Embedded Objects manual now contains two new sections:
* longtable alignment.
* scaled and rotated material.
- Many improvements to the translation of the user interface on the Mac.
In particular, LyX automatically uses the language of the interface for
all of its menus and for the help files. Documents strings like
"Chapter" are correctly translated on screen too.
- New translations of the user interface into Finnish, Portuguese and
Simplified Chinese.
- Updated Czech and Italian translations of the user interface.
* USER INTERFACE
- Add a pixmap cache to speed up text drawing on screen. This cache is
enabled on Mac and Windows platforms using Qt 4.2 or higher.
- Add a "Save all" menu entry, to save all modified files (bug 2840).
- Mark modified files in the View menu with an asterisk (bug 2876).
- Add a paragraph-params LFUN, used for updating paragraph parameters
(bug 2714).
- Add a "Save all on log-out or cancel" feature (bug 1656).
- Improved on screen rendering of some toolbar images.
- The dialogs of "editable" insets (such as index entries, URLs or
citations) are now opened by the "next-inset-toggle" LFUN (bug
2907).
- The screen label of index insets now displays their content.
- Floats comes now with fixed width on screen (bug 4002).
** Bug fixes:
*
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- Check if the .lyx file has been externally modified when a buffer is saved.
- Fix conversion from older documents if koi8 is used as the document
encoding (bug 4158).
- Handle array column specifiers @{decl.}, p{width} and the extensions by
array.sty in mathed (bug 4132).
- Detect (pdf)tex's file:line:error style messages that are used by some
distributions and that caused LyX to ignore LaTeX errors (bug 4222).
* USER INTERFACE:
- Fix a crash when closing a LyX window with document tabs (bug 4123).
- Fix a crash when clicking in a tabular cell and the "delete empty paragraph"
mechanism triggers (bug 4133).
- Fix a crash when using the LFUN 'buffer-write-as' with an argument
that is not an absolute path (bug 4135).
- Fix a crash when a user removes the underlying figure of a graphic inset
that has been copied and pasted (bug 4108).
- Fix a crash when inserting a float.
- Fix a crash on quitting if graphics were selected (bug 4178).
- Fix a crash when a user removes a formula when its preview is being
generated (gcc 3 only).
- Fix a crash when using the down arrow in an empty math subscript (bug 4117).
- Fix a crash when logging out from within the Gnome desktop (bug 1656).
- Fix a crash with View>PDF on the Mac. This occurred only when LyX was
compiled with gcc's stdlib-debug option (bug 4014).
- Fix the loading of non-LyX child documents with relative path names. Change
'Load' to 'Edit' in the child document dialog (bugs 4107 and 4111).
- Allow roman numerals beyond 20 (bug 4112).
- Render malformed tables correctly (bug 580).
- Enable File>Revert when the file is externally modified, and rename
this menu item to "File>Revert to saved" (bugs 3766 and 4114).
- Update the screen when leaving a 'wide' inset using the up- and down-arrows.
- Fix a problem where the Delete button in the citation dialo
